If it feels like armour in your bike kit then the law demands it is actually proper, protective armour. Here's how to tell how effective your impact protection is...
I've had this back protector in three jackets now. Never obtrusive.
Was pleasantly surprised I'm not always sure what you get with amour or if it's just a piece of foam.
But this is brilliant, really sturdy but also really lightweight.
And fits perfectly into both my Dainese jacket and my Merlin jacket.
Took my jacket to local SPORTSBIKESHOP, 10 min later left with fitted back protector. Great service as always
It's big, bright and squashy to absorb that possible impact.
Held should include it in their jackets.
Always use a back protector so bought this for my new Held Hakuna jacket
It's quite light , flexible and when installed you're not aware it's there which is ideal
It's not too expensive so overall a good buy
Nice thick padding will do the job
Fit into my Held hoodie out of the box, seems stiff in the hand but moulds great when its warm on your back, seems sturdy enough to do a good job, hopefully i wont get to test it out, quick delivery and great price as always from sportsbikeshop
Seemed the obvious option to fit inside a Held Quattrotempi jacket, which it fits nicely. Item itself seems decent but dropping a star because £26 seems a lot for a piece of foam.
Never had one so had a good look at what was available and opted for this universal one from Held.
My Halvarssons jacket is probably 6 years old now but this back protector "slotted" straight in, no fiddling and snipping bits off here and there.
As for the fit, as soon as I zipped up the jacket the back protector molded to me very snuggly, but not making it feel as if it was there. By the time I had selected first gear and pulled away I had forgotten about it.
So all in all, fit it and forget it, knowing it will be there if it were ever needed.
Yes, I'd recommend getting one without hesitation, especially at Sportsbikeshop prices. They always come up trumps.
Got this back protector in my Held Carese 2 jacket and it fits perfectly. Had an accident on the Brussels ring road where I broke my Fibia and Tibia in my left leg and all I can say is the body armour in the Held clothing worked a treat. I was wearing the Torno 2 pants at the time with the jacket and not a single bruise or pain anywhere else.
This back protector is is well made and I'm sure it will do it's job if needed. I have fitted into my Held Sonic 5xl summer jacket and selected the large, it fits really well and after initially thinking it was too thick and would be bulky to the feel you soon forget it's there, overall an excellent buy and at a great price with first class service from SBS.
I bought this protector to fit into my brick leather jacket. It is a perfect fit and although quite thick it is very flexible and is very comfortable once it moulds to your shape,am very happy!!
Great back protector, got it to fit my Merlin yoxall wax, had to do a bit of trimming to fit but easy to do and it's such a lovely feeling material, soft to push you finger into but hard and strong in a blunt impact, very comfortable inside the jacket and moulds to your shape.
Chose it because of the safety rating at the price, which was excellent, - cheapest CE Level 2 rated in the required size that was available. Fits well (Frank Thomas Jacket) and is reassuringly sturdy. Downside is that this means it is heavy and a bit bulkier than what it replaced (Level 1 CE) but definitely no great hindrance.
Fits my Held Carese 2 jacket well and looks and feels as if it will really be up to the job should I ever put it to the test. Hopefully that won't be the case!
Excellent back protector, fits the jacket perfectly (Held Zorro jacket). I didn't notice it was there once the jacket is on.
A very thick and strong back protector, which is the only problem, because the jacket is a long touring one it tends to make the back protector a bit bulky fine in winter perhaps a bit bulky for summer
Excellent product, probably the best back armour I've ever had. And it fitted perfectly into my new bike jacket
Would highly recommend it
I'm totally impressed with this company and the item arrived on time and was exactly as described
